Yes David, you are right. The root of the evil, and hence to root of  
the fix, has to be with
XML Schema, and only after that XQuery/XSLT can use that and fix their  
own problems.

Unfortunately XML Schema WG prefers to spend their time on precision  
decimal -- that will
likely cause more disruption in the industry rather then solving a  
real problem-- instead of
fixing this problem that has been know (as a pain) for more then a  
decade.

And it's a VERY bad pain when you start writing large XQuery programs.

I will file a W3C bug to XML SChema, but I have somehow limited hopes  
about that.

Best regards
Dana
